Raw Food Weight Loss Diet

You see, eating raw is just another way of preparing your food. But the variety and kind of foods largely remain the same. You're fat because your acid. Eating alkalizing foods will make you thin. It's that easy. In other words, you'll only achieve healthy long term weight loss when your body has an alkaline pH. Simply put. All (green) vegetables and herbs are alkalizing.

Fruits are neutral or slightly acid forming. Most nuts and seeds are slightly acidic. For a full list of alkaline foods click here. To make sure your diet is alkaline - and this is slightly different for everyone - you must test yourself daily. You can do this very easily and cheap with pH test strips. One of the advantages of organic foods is that they contain much more nutrients, including alkalizing minerals than conventional grown foods. Thus eating organic speeds up weight loss.

However, when diet A is over, you are right back where you started and have been given no skills to fish. Diet companies don't make their profits by teaching you to fish, they make their money by handing you a fish so you must rely on them indefinitely or come back to them after you gain all the weight back.

Thus, diet B is superior for allowing you to succeed where other diets failed, with knowledge gained that you can apply long term. We now make our way to another test to help you choose a nutrition program for long term weight loss, and it does not actually involve nutrition.

The missing link for long term weight loss is exercise. Exercise is the essential component of long term weight loss. Many diet programs do not contain an exercise component, which means they are losers for long term weight loss from the very start. Any program that has its focus on weight loss but does not include a comprehensive exercise plan is like buying a car without tires, or a plane without wings.

Losing the fat and keeping the all important lean body mass (LBM), is the goal, and the method for achieving that can be found in my ebook(s) on the topic, and is beyond the scope of this article. Bottom line: the type of exercise, intensity of that exercise, length of time doing that exercise, etc., are essential variables here when attempting to lose FAT while retaining (LBM).

Many diet programs out there don't address the psychological aspect of why people fail to be successful with long term weight loss. However, quite a few studies exist that have looked at just that. In many respects, the psychological aspect is the most important for long term weight loss, and probably the most underappreciated component.

Studies that compare the psychological characteristics of people who have successfully kept the weight off to people who have regained the weight, see clear differences between these two groups. Had the tendency to use eating to regulate mood. Additional studies on men and women find psychological characteristics such as "having unrealistic weight goals, poor coping or problem-solving skills and low self-efficacy" often predict failure with long term weight loss. The main point of this section is to illustrate that psychology plays a major role in determining if people are successful with long term weight loss.

If it's not addressed as part of the overall plan, it can be the factor that makes or breaks your success. This, however, is not an area most nutrition programs can adequately tackle and should not be expected to. However, the better programs do generally attempt to help with motivation, goal setting, and support.

So why don't you see this type of honest information about the realities of long term weight loss more often? Let's be honest here, telling the truth is not the best way to sell bars, shakes, books, supplements, and programs. Hell, if by some miracle everyone who read this article actually followed it, and sent it on to millions of other people who actually followed it, makers of said products could be in financial trouble quickly.

However, they also know - as the man said - "there's a sucker born every minute," so I doubt they will be kept up at night worrying about the effects that I, or this article, will have on their business. The weight loss program you choose should ultimately teach you how to eat and be self reliant so you can make informed long term choices about your nutrition. The weight loss program you choose should not leave you reliant on commercial bars, shakes, supplements, or pre-made foods, for your long term success.

The weight loss program you choose must have an effective exercise component. The weight loss program you choose should attempt to help with motivation, goal setting, and support, but can't be a replacement for psychological counseling if needed. I want to take this final section to add some additional points and clarity. For starters, the above advice is not for everyone.
